[Guide] CM6 Installation with a2sd and swap

I was trying to upgrade to CM6 from CM5 and was facing lot of issues so I followed below process and got it worked. I thought of sharing it with everybody as lot of person are having issues.
I know most of the information is available on XDA but not on a single place.
I have made a separate thread because A2sd and SWAP are not supported by CM6 officially.
This is not an official method of installing CM6, this is how I got it worked and you can use it for reference.
1) Preperation: You need to get the below mention files, Please get these files from below mentioned thread:
a) CM6 and Gaaps
b) CustomMTD Patch - You only need FR-recovery and FR-boot latest version.
c) Script for a2sd and swap - get the latest script.
d) Fastboot - Fastboot should be setup and working, If you are on Linux go here
e) SD Card Partition - If you are not sure how to partition the sd card. If you want to use a2sd and swap, please partition your sd-card.​Store all files on root of sd-card.
2) Connect the phone to PC, do not mount the phone.
3) Wipe the phone:
a) Boot into recovery(reboot while holding home and power). Wipe everything.
b) Boot in fastboot mode. (reboot while holding back and power)
Enter the command in terminal or command prompt on the PC
fastboot erase system -w​ c) reboot into recovery.​
4) Install the custom MTD. (If you already have custom MTD then this step is not required.)
a) Flash customMTD fr-recovery file.
b) Reboot into recovery.​
5) Install CM6 Gapps and boot loader.
a) Flash CM6
b) Flash Gapps
c) Flash Boot Loader fr-boot file
d) reboot phone​
6) Once phone is booted and you are on the home screen, go to
CyanogenMod Settings > Application Settings > Install location - Set Install location as Internal, make sure allow application moving is not checked.
CyanogenMod Settings > Performance Settings - make sure that Compcache, JIT, dithering is not checked. If something is checked please uncheck it.
Lock home in memory can be checked, but some guys has reported that it drains a lot of battery.
Reboot the phone.
7) Go to terminal type below code
su
sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt a2sd​
It will ask if you want to install a2sd, type Y and press enter. Once APKManager is installed, type quit to exit.
Reboot the phone.
8) If you are not using a2sd and want to setup swap, please enter the below command in the terminal otherwise continue to step 9.
su
sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt sdext​
reboot the phone.
9) Go to terminal type below code
su
sh /sdcard/fr-patch140.txt swap​
It will ask for swappiness, I use 60 there, but its your own preference. After that it will ask you if you want to use swap-file, press n and enter.
After this enter below to terminal
Free​If you get swap setup it will show in front of swap in terminal, if the result show zero swap then reboot and do the step 9 again.
Now you have a CM6 with apps2sd and swap. All the newly installed apps will automatically go to ext.
If you don't like 3d gallery and want it to replace it with old gallery..This has been provided by ZilverZurfarn on CM6 thread.
Extract Gallery.apk from a older CM update (like 5.0.8) somewhere (c:\temp in the example below)
Using adb:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk
adb push c:\temp\Gallery.apk /system/app/Gallery.apk​
Also there are some apps which I don't prefer, as I don't use android native keyboard, Android browser, POP email, amazon MP3 etc. So I have created a script for my use which has been shared and it can be run from the terminal..
download remove-app-v1.0.txt and store it to root of your sd card. than enter below commands in terminal
su
sh /sdcard/remove-app-v1.0.txt​
currently this script will remove below mention apps based on user input.
Amazon MP3, Live Wallpaper picker, CM Wallpapers, POP Email, Android Native Browser, Android Native Onscreen Keyboard, Genie Widget...
Note: - Before removing browser and keyboard please make sure you have a replacement for them.
I do not take any credit for work, its just a reference for installing CM6. Thanks to Cyanogen and team, Firerat, Lbcoder for producing these amazing roms and methods.....
Please provide your feedback and suggestion for the guide.

Can I have swap without app2sd?
I skipped the app2sd part, but the swap wouldn't work.
it didn't ask me about the swap file.
It ended with:
use
/system/bin/swappy on # to turn swap on

What does sdext do ?
When I ran sdext, it said "danger detected" though, is it still safe?
Same thing appeared when I did swap.

"danger detected" message is for SPL, It checks for the SPL first and you have danger spl installed.
By default CM6 does not mount ext partition as it does not support a2sd right now. sdext creates a mount point for ext partition. a2sd internally does that but as you are not using a2sd this was not done.

Watch out...newbie in the room
Okay, you are going to love this.... I'm sorry if this is too long but I hope you can help a newbie trying to learn this stuff!
I am REALLY new to all this, and did a Root and Rom Update as the Unlockr.com videos taught me, to get CM6. And then also added the gapps file because I read a thread that that was needed to get gmail and the market on my phone. Once rebooted, everything worked ok but slow. Then I noticed that my gmail wasn't syncing, and then it started to force close. So I did a wipe and loaded CM5 because I saw on a thread that that was faster for the G1. With all of this, after reading your thread and suggestion, I am wondering...
1. Is CM6 slow for you?
2. Should I have loaded gapps? IS that how to get gmail and should it sync automatically? If not, is there a way to make it?
3. Should I stick with CM5 or try CM6 following these suggestions??
And big ones.... I wish there was a website somewhere with definitions to all the terms and apps used. Lol.. I Google all of them but don't always find anything that actually describes what they are.
Swap and app2sd were mentioned on the video instructions for loading a new ROM but do they automatically come in the ROM zip files? Because in the video they didn't load them separately. They partition the card "for" them, but don't show installing them. Obviously I assume App2sd is a program to store your apps on your sd card. Is this something that I SHOULD install? Is swap something I should install?
And what is a CustomMTD Patch? Annnnnnd, what is fastboot??
I know this is a lot of questions... I decided to ask them all here because they pertain to this thread because I'm wondering if I should do this...
Thanks for any and all answers!

I would assume that you have a G1, and my answer is based on that assumption. If you have different phone let me know.
1. Is CM6 slow for you?
If I don't use a2sd and swap, answer is yes. I install lot of apps, with cutomMTD it works fine in starts but slows down after some time. With a2sd and swap it is worth a try.​
2. Should I have loaded gapps? IS that how to get gmail and should it sync automatically? If not, is there a way to make it?
CM roms does not distribute google apps with the rom as its not legal. So if you want gapps then yes that file has to be flashed. CM6 can be run without gapps, but you won't get gmail, market etc..once you have gmail it should sync automatically.​
3. Should I stick with CM5 or try CM6 following these suggestions??
CM5 is quite stable rom and runs fine. Choice is yours...CM6 is in initial stages, but is good too...I go with CM5 for my daily driver as a2sd is not officially supported. It will be there in CM6.1....​
And what is a CustomMTD Patch? Annnnnnd, what is fastboot??
G1 was build with a low memory and the way internal memory has been partition todays rom can't fit into it. That's why dangerSPL, but there is a risk involved in installing dangerSPL. If you don't follow the instruction you can brick your phone. CustomMTD is a safe method. This increase the size of data partition so you can install more apps internally. link for that thread is in first post.​
a2sd is a way to store apps on sdcard, sdcard needs to be partitioned to support that..step 1 - e in my guide. That's a manual way of doing it. If you have AmanRA recovery then it will have a menu option for that. Most of the rom supports it automatically, so if you have sd card partition then rom will automatically do that.
CM6 does not support a2sd so it has to done in different way. CM5 supports it but in settings - application - a2sd has to be checked on to move your apps to sdcard.​
Swap is kind of extra memory to help running the applications. if you run multiple application together then you need swap on CM5 and CM6.​

WOW!
THANK YOU!!! You are awesome for going through all of those!
Yes, it is a G1.
Are there any features in CM6 that aren't in CM5, or is it faster than CM5 with the ap2sd & swap?
I believe I partitioned the sd card when I loaded the CM6 ROM.
So I'd like to try the CM6 with the ap2sd, swap and the CustomMTD. I do have the AmanRA recovery, but not sure about how to select the ap2sd.
Any chance you would tell me how to get the ap2sd, swap and CustomMTD on the phone if I have already Flashed CM6 on there?
Thanks again, regardless. The info you gave me helped me learn a little more. I'm still a bit confused about what fastboot is though. But I will just keep at it and keep learning!

CM6 is based on froyo, latest version of android...its good and yes speed is comparable. Also CM has added new stuff in it, like fully customizable power bar and other stuff...Full changelog is there in CM6 thread.​

For CM6 a2sd is through script, instruction is in first post. I have included customMTD also there. So if you follow the guide, you will be having customMTD, a2sd and swap...swap require an partition on your sdcard, if you don't have that partition then it will ask for swap file.​

you can wipe and start over again, first post should be good for you.​

Oh I forgot about the fastboot, fastboot and adb are tool, which give an option to control, flash and do other thing on the phone from PC. The link for setup guide is in first post.​

Thanks again!!
Man! You are great! Thanks again for all your help! Now let's see if I can manage to follow your thread and not brick my phone! Lol
Until next time....

[ROM][19 Sep]VIBES v1.6|Rooted|App2SD|Wifi-Tether|RAM Optimized|Fast|Updatable

Important Notice Due to my exams i wont be available till 25th. I have tried to make instructions as clear as possible still if anyone is having problems u can use 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.5, 1.5.1 all stable.1.5 and 1.2.1 have most positive feedbacks.
Or Go for my SUPER STABLE and Successful FROYO (android 2.2.1)build HERE :: CLICK HERE
Dear friends ..
You need a rooted wildfire for this...
Thanks frnds for ur interest and testing support ::
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I can't say it enough be it this or any other ROM, Always Back-up your current stable ROM with Nandroid.
IMP IMP IMP::Please format your SD card to FAT32 before flashing and remove all partitioning.This way you wont have Boot Loop Trouble.
To Flash the zip file needs to be copied to root of ur Sd card and flashed from recovery.
You can also use Koush's Fake Flash.
This ROM wont delete ur personal data from your sd card.
Its better to Wipe ur Caches from recovery menu before flashing. Recommended.
DOWNLOAD the ROM.Complete Following steps.Same steps for all ROMs here.
# Flash the ROM and Make the first boot (will take little time).
# Reboot Once. Now Boot into RECOVERY..and complete following Steps::
HOW TO SET UP SD CARD FOR APP2SD to work properly​A. backup your sd card to your computer, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.(Just to be super safe::Format your card to FAT32 on your PC and then insert it into ur Buzz/Wildfire)
B. Reboot into recovery
c. Select partition sdcard
d. Again select partition sd card.
e. Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your sd card. You can optionally set a swap file while you are partitioning your sd card.
Recommended setting (Swap=0, Ext=256, rest=fat32)
F. In the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
G. ONLY FOR Vibes v1.1 Others skip this step nly perform this step if you want ext4 and your rom supports it: in the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext3 to ext4. Follow the instructions on the sdcard.​H. Press the up volume button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
I. Reboot and viola you are done.
Or Do it THE GEEK WAY
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LOTS of partitioning trouble causes phone to have boot trouble.
1. Please before flashing remove your partitions you had created earlier.
2. Then Format to FAT32.
Its just partitioning problem i have checked the ROM friends once u partition ur card..then formatting will clean only one partition other is still unusable you have to remove partion. then Format to Fat32 and boot.
HERE ARE SOME INSTRUCTIONS AND A TOOL that will solve ur problems once and for all..
and after this partition removal, ur card is fat32 again ..this time just create a partition with recommended setting (swap=0 and ext=256)..try ext2 first.

[Q] latest MIUI vs EXT2 partition and A2SD, problem

Hi!
Quick question to everybody. Recently I've installed MIUI 1.5.20 on my MM, before that parted SD into FAT32(7GB, primaty+active)+EXT2(1GB, primary). Now in Settings>System>SD, in section A2SD+ it says "This device does not support A2SD+", is there something more that I should have done to make it work properly?

Nothing is wrong with it as far as I know. I had the same "issue" as well and my ext2 partition worked fine. I think it might just be because of the ext2 partition not being a native feature to the Milestone? Everything is fine though, don't worry

ok... so how can I check if it works? afaik it should hold apps relocated to SD, so if i go via root explorer to sd-ext folder (mount point), .apks should be there, right?

Yes. Also you can try looking at /system/app and it might be there as well.

thx a 1M going to try it out... after reflashing with own-modified version from a scratch :]

unfortunately, /sd-ext is still empty.
ok, can any one tell me what are the correct steps, am I missing something? here is what i did:
1. factory reset (org froyo)
2. partitioned SD:
a) FAT32 7GB primary active
b) EXT2 1GB primary
3. rsd lite > g.o.t. 2.2.1 + open recovery 1.46 + or-extfs-update2 + V6supercharge
4. full wipe
5. applied miui 1.5.20 + minor fixes
should it work already(?)

Which MIUI are you using? Did you try rebooting the phone after you restored all your apps?

PROBLEM SOLVED
it's latest MIUI 1.5.20, solution as follows:
1. after installing MIUI, flash via AOR >>THIS script
2. reboot device to the OS and instal (from market) "A2SDGUI"
3. reboot device (just to be sure)
4. njoy
later in mentioned app, you can set dalvik location and/or initiate swap
(@Admins/Mods: for me thread to be closed, thx)
thanks goes to skwara for advice, tkirton for script and skadude66 for trying to help

1. after installing MIUI, flash via AOR >>THIS script
2. reboot device to the OS and instal (from market) "A2SDGUI"
3. reboot device (just to be sure)
4. njoy
later in mentioned app, you can set dalvik location and/or initiate swap
(@Admins/Mods: for me thread to be closed, thx)
thanks goes to skwara for advice, tkirton for script and skadude66 for trying to help

Glad it works I'm guessing when you say latest 1.5.20, you're talking about miuiandroid.com's version of MIUI? Because eybee1970's version includes automatic app2ext scripts and shouldn't be that hard to use.

right... you asked about whose release is it, it's not quite original, but based on it. skwara@android.com.pl makes PL version better suited to our local demands, there's no preinstalled app2ext. maybe that's even better, rom is lighter, and more open to your own way of customisation ;P hope someone will find this thread useful if he/she is not using eybee1970's version

[ROM] NeoFroyo V0.1 for Xperia X1 [17-08-2011]

Initial Release V0.1:
This ROM is english only and has several tweaks inbuilt. Try it out yourself and you will be amazed of the overall speed. Maybe I will support more languages later (have to talk to Infinimint about this -> maybe he has enough CPU power and time + nerves to compile it in each language). Till then if you are searching for another language then move elsewhere to find your ROM...

Im not a dev, just put stuff together credit goes to all authors just posting here to spread the word, so if you have errors, please report in the threads linked above =).

sorry man, but this isn't right!
sure. you say all credits go to the devs in the very last paragraph.
but until there you make it look like you compiled this rom yourself by using simple c/p of neopeeks original post...

this is wrong, fat32 needs to be first partition, otherwise windows won't recognize it anymore.
i don't know which gapps you put into this package, but it's certainly not the one neopeek tells you in cwm-thread. the meta-inf isn't replaced.

Is that any difference between this and THIS

no difference, I just made all the steps for you so you just have to unzip the files and copy them in root of SDcard

ooooppssii daily i seemed to have made a new thread for something which is already thereE!

to bad wifi isnt working

It is, just get the right kernel, ygge or latest glemsom (19.08.)
but glemsom ain't so good for me:
- wifi working***
- system a bit snappier (or just wishful thinking?)
- permanent hiss from loudspeaker
- battery always full
- had to change cpu-freq to 652, phone kept freezing with 672
- sys-process-gapps fc's now and then
*** i didn't reinstall the rom, just changed kernel & wiped dalvik cache. So i don't know if something extra is left from ygge-kernel.
edit:
took longer, but it froze again. 633 mhz now.

Hi there!
It works fantastically, but I don't know if this build is supposed to have fixed this issue, I'm still having the hardware keyboard death problem. So I tried to implement ygge's keyboard-as-modules kernel, and when deleting the current modules, I have an error saying that they can't be removed because this is a Read-only file system. (like this: "cannot remove 'nameofthemodule.ko': Read-only file system")
It is not the first time I try to use this kernel, and the previous times, I could delete them without any trouble (through terminal emulator). I have tried with terminal emulator as a root, with other file explorers as a root and seems to be difficult to erase them. Is there any other solution? Oh, and I have already tried reinstalling again, but I guess I can't reinstall with ygge's kernel with keyboard as modules since I won't be able to press volume down to enter Recovery mode, am I right? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!
I already posted this issue twice in neopeek's forum, without any luck

My X1i accept calls and wifi does not work, do not help any modifications.

Does someone else have this hardware key's freezing problem as well? How did you fix it? The current solution of the kernel with keyboard separated as modules doesn't seem to be working here

NOTE: ROMS THAT ARE ORM (ORIGINAL ROM FROM MANUFACTURER...ALSO KNOWN AS STOCK ROMS) WILL NOT RUN ANY VERSION OF APPS2SD EXCEPT FROYO.
The code to launch Apps2SD is not present in the init.rc. The only way Apps2SD will work with a Stock ROM is if the init.rc has been modified with the commands to run Apps2SD.
